getting results after a code with a smpd block

Hello, I have a question about how to use smpd. I am doing a stochastics simulation.I am runing it in a mahcine with 4 cores. The main script call a function as:

smpd

function [output1,ouput2]=myfun();

end

where myfun is my main code.

So for each output I got a composite var for example (output1, compossite 1x4).

Then to get the values of the var I can use a loop to go through every worker or I can just collect without loop as:

output1c = output1 (1,1);
output2c = output1 (1,2);
output3c = output1 (1,3);
output4c = output1 (1,4);

where output(1,2,3,4)c are the variables that I used as results .

My questions are:

1- Since smpd run the same code in each worker, the 4 output(1,2,3,4)c are independents aoutputs of the same code ?

2- Some times happen that If I run the same code different times I got the same result,since I have a stochastic code every run should be different , I found that is a problem of collecting the results from the workers, could be possible that the workers kept the old results and I not deleting properly , I am using, clear all.

Thank you very much , and I am sorry if I am not clear enough

1. Yes, each output is the result of an independent run of myfun
2. Be aware that MATLAB intializes the random state in a deterministic way. See this documentation page for more details.
